This month’s principal’s chat is an important one and will take place this Friday at 8:30 in the community room (115 Annex). Ms. Afflick will discuss Revere’s One School vision for building school community, fostering communication and supporting our teachers. All are invited to bring their questions and concerns and to join in the discussion.

We are currently experiencing heating issues in both the Main and Annex buildings. Annex classrooms have been provided with space heaters, as the situation is predicted to last the duration of the school year. The issues in the Main building should be resolved this week. Please dress your children warmly. We apologize for the discomfort and are doing everything we can do to address the problem.

First, we want to say that Teacher Appreciation was a great success. Thank you to everyone who helped deliver food, serve food and/or brought food in for our wonderful teachers. A special HUGE shout out to Karen Dickenson for opening up her home and giving our teachers and staff a cozy place to come and enjoy a nice meal. We hope our teachers feel special and understand how much they mean to us.

PTA General Meeting

Thursday November 19 5:30pm

Jeni Weber from the Green Schoolyard project will be here to present to the PTA plans for Paul Revere. This is a great opportunity for parent input on the school improvement process, so please plan on attending!

We still need more sign ups for salad, bread and fruit and we are in desperate need of people to help us set up, deliver food to teachers who cannot take the time to leave their classrooms, and clean up. Karen, Kelly and I will be there but we need more hand to make light work. Please do what you can. Our teachers deserve the best!

First let me say that you guys are AWESOME! We asked for help and you delivered. Thank you.

Fiesta on the Hill was a smashing success. With our bake sale and kinder note cards, we were able to break even financially and we blew the doors off of our positive presence in the community. I think everyone now knows about Revere and we heard from quite a few families that are putting us on their Kinder list! Thank you to everyone who came out to work the booth or just to say hi. We are all Revere!

And now onto fundraising... Christmas is around the corner and what better place to shop than our Online Auction and Book Fair!

Online Auction

The Paul Revere PTA Auction Oct. 21 -28, 2015

Opens October 21, 2015 at 9:00am

Closes October 28, 2015 at 7:00pm

This year the auction is online at https://www.biddingforgood.com/paulreveresf

Listed under Paul Revere SF PTA

Support the PTA in bringing more field trips, additional supplies, and community building events to Paul Revere!

Book Fair

We are open all this week! Please come and buy some books. They make great Christmas presents!

Also, we had a few cancellations due to scheduling conflicts and could use a few more volunteers.

The last week of October is a huge push for the school and we need your help. We are only asking for 1.5 hours of your time. If everyone in the school gave 1.5 hours of their time per year, we would have more volunteers than we would know what to do with. Unfortunately, that is not the case and we ask that you please volunteer and ask others to do the same. Trust me. It may seem like a sacrifice, but one you will feel great about, because you are helping your child’s school and building relationships with other parents. The PTA works at community building and raising funds for field trips, enrichment opportunities and additional classroom supplies, such as books. We need your help! We are seriously low on funds and currently working in the red. In addition, we have very few volunteers. Anytime and or funds you can give is greatly appreciated. Please be generous.

Please contact Jen (jennifer.jordan@gmail.com) and Jessica (jessburden@aol.com) about helping with above events. We truly appreciate any time and help you can give.

First, thank you to everyone who took part in the Patxi Pizza fundraiser. We haven’t heard yet about how much we earned, but seeing so many people at the restaurant and hearing about so many people ordering take out, it appears to have been a success. At the very least, it was great fun hanging out with so many of you at the restaurant. Here’s to many more nights out and time spent together as families outside of school!
